Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of our oldest daughter, Briyana. She was born on February 6, 2000 but we planned her party closer to Valentine’s Day because it carried that theme. This morning, my husband got home from work and said, “I almost brought you something for Valentine’s Day but I figured y’all had enough junk yesterday.” We aren’t big on gifts and such, so …

Briyana has been begging me for permission to straighten her hair for at least a year. She has been “over” her super-curly, typical biracial hair for far too long! Since she turned 10 last week, I decided to finally give in and buy her a flat iron to straighten her hair. I took her to WalMart and let her pick one out. She got a …

At 10:31am yesterday, my oldest daughter became my first baby to reach a double-digit age. She turned ten years old. I cannot believe it’s been over a decade since we found out she was a girl… and then all of a sudden, she was born. She changed my life in ways I never expected. She was perfect. She was precious. She was my daughter… Time …

I was born January 2, 1983 … Now, I’m officially 27 years old. Over my entire life, my mom has always told me 27 would be my best year. I’m SO excited to see what 2010 brings!! Or rather, I’m excited to see what I bring to 2010!

Last year, I made a ton of great resolutions… most of which, I forgot all about {or lost interest in} before the calendar even hit February. This year, I’m going to be more realistic – AND I’m going to be practical. I’ve spent wasted way too much time over the last 12 months of my life. I’ve devoted countless hours to absolutely nothing… hours that …

Ok, okayyyy. I confess. I got my kids up at 11:48pm and begged them to shake their sleepies so we could open gifts :) I just couldn’t wait any longer!! haha They had a BLAST opening all their presents… I don’t even remember what all each of them got, but here are the endless photos I snapped with my Samsung DualView while they ripped the …

When I was growing up, we had traditions…when it came to holidays and birthdays, you learned to expect a great deal – and my mom always delivered. Despite us not always having a lot… my mom would extend herself to the MAX to give us the full experience of celebrating. When it came to holidays, you always knew what to expect.
On New Years Eve, we …

I admit it. I was dumb-dumb-dumb enough to actually BE at WalMart at 5am on Black Friday. Let me first say that this is the first time I’ve ever actually participated in the whole race-to-get-there-first part of Black Friday. Normally, I go around 10:15am and pick through whatever happens to be left of the after-Thanksgiving sales. This year, however, there were two electronic items that …

This Thanksgiving seems different than the years past. For some reason it feels more genuine… closer to the heart. We’ve been through so many trials this year – seen so many struggles… experienced things we thought we’d never experience, which seems almost impossible when I reflect on all the insane experiences we’ve had since we met as teens!! Looking back over the last few months, …
